"Of course!"

Zach, who had just stood up, was pressed back by Corson, "Lance has already told me that you came on your own initiative." Cowson was giving James a look, "You are a witness who gave evidence, and of course we know that you are innocent!"

Of course, just look at James's gloomy face and know what he's thinking.

"This is not the place to talk. Corson was already trying his best to change his expression, but how strange it looked, pointing to a room in a certain direction, "How about we go to a more secluded place and talk......

This place is the interrogation room.

However, since Detective Corson used such an expression, Zach naturally did not refuse and followed behind the two.

Before entering, James glanced at Zach extremely stealthily. Zach smiled back meaninglessly.

Then, as he stepped into the enclosed interrogation room, which consisted only of one table and three chairs, Zach turned sideways, looked sideways at the mirror that occupied half of the wall, tilted his head, straightened his appearance, and smiled, "Secretive enough." ”

James lowered his head, staring at the image of the vampire in the mirror, unable to see his expression.

Corson also looked at the image of Zach in the mirror. Wait a minute, it's not what Cowson wants to see, but he's so embarrassed that he's embarrassed to look at Zack's body! Detective Cowson's expression was a little evasive, and he pointed to the chair in front of the interrogation table, "Sit down, it's just a program, just go through it." ”

The image in the mirror, a four-century-old bust, begins to distort, blur, and finally disappear as Curson sits with his back to the mirror. Remember what Thomas Gangero said, this new skill given by Saint Sissi is difficult. Even if the user is Toredo.

But of course, Zach didn't react in any way. When James finally turned his gaze from the mirror, he sat down peacefully and raised an eyebrow at James slightly, meaning-'I can only last so long, you see.' ’

The current situation is equivalent to a mutual compromise between two police detectives.

Teach James directly. Detective Cowson, who uncuffed Zack, apparently wanted to let Zack go at first. A headless oolong case in the southeast, and the owner of the powerful informant Flander, it is very easy to think about which side to choose.

But Zach is still here, still sitting in the interrogation room, which means that at the very least, Detective Cousson approved of James's action of 'capturing' Zach back. His words are nice, 'witnesses who provide evidence', 'go through a procedure'. But Zach is self-aware, and he is the biggest suspect right now.

In this transformation process, Zach actually 'eavesdropped' clearly.

When Zach casually judged the picture on James's desk, while the two detectives were in the bathroom, James, under the indignation of his partner and predecessor Cowson, rebelled against this sentence-

"Do you have a better way to deal with it?!You don't care about the pressure from the 'General?!Let him go, and the case will be over!Anyway, I've ruined my relationship with Grande's informant. You also want to send your relationship with the 'General?!"

There is a key place here, the pressure given by the 'general'. Please recall. How did the two detectives of the homicide squad know about this Southeastern case, which had not gone through the regular procedures at all and was deliberately ignored by the police? James told Zack that it was when the 'General' asked Corson about the situation.

As for the 'general', we know what he said and what he did, and we also need to be soberly aware of one thing -- when the inherent prejudice of the Southeast was exploited by Chapman to seek death for profit. What did the 'General' do? He erected a neon sign in front of his bar that lasted all night! In the southeast, shrouded in darkness, he made a bright spot! Think about it.

So, in all respects, don't underestimate the 'general'!

That's the pressure that the 'General' put on Corson. If the police can't protect the southeast, why should the 'general' take on the name of an informant and do things for the police. You don't care if we have dead people here?!

James's compromise is obvious, and Zach is now free with both hands.

The two letters were placed on the metal interrogation table, and Curson was frowning as he read them.

While in the bathroom, James had already told the origin of the two letters, including Zach's denial of knowing the person who wrote the letter.

This interrogation, which is merely described as a 'procedure', is very difficult to walk.

After reading the letter, Corson was silent, he didn't want to offend Grande more, so he wasn't ready to speak. James didn't speak, only secretly looked sideways at the mirror behind him, and his body posture was strangely close to Curson, as if he was ready to do something at any time...... Everyone knows, for example, Coulson suddenly turned around, and the only person who stopped him was James.

There was some awkwardness in the interrogation room.

Zack's relaxed expression, which had been waiting, suddenly changed, and his gaze looked past the two detectives opposite him and into the mirror.

Behind the standard two-way mirror in the interrogation room, a middle-aged man and a handy short woman stood behind with a coffee cup and a straight face.

It was Curson and James's boss, the head of the homicide team, and the boss of the police department, the director of Cologne, whose eyes grew gloomy as they looked at the three silent men in the interrogation room through a two-way mirror.

Zach doesn't have the ability to see through, but he can still hear two more gradient heartbeats. Zach looked away, thought for a moment, and then thought of a decision that might be beneficial to everyone.

Zach, a vampire who is a witness and a suspect, is actually the first person to speak in this interrogation room.

"There is no one else here. Zach raised an eyebrow and knocked on the metal interrogation table, "It's very secret, no one bother, how about we talk about the truth?"

The heartbeats of the two people behind the two-way mirror changed, as did the two detectives in the room.

"Detective Cousson. Zach looked at Corson, "Lance ......" Zack waved his hand in front of him, and shook his head with an apologetic smile, "I said I was going to say 'the truth'." Zach looked at James and changed his name, not much at all, just a formal surname and position, which became a first name, "Did James tell you about the first letter I received?"

Corson glanced at James, it seemed that the situation was not too bad, and the relationship between his partner and his informant had not completely broken down. Shaking his head, "No." ”

"I know, it's going to sound terrible. Zach smiled helplessly, "I don't think anyone would write to me and ignore the letter in front of James." Zach looked at James, "Let me come to Grande again today to confront James." I got the impression that I was deliberately withholding the letter. ”

"Aren't you?!" James grimaced, then glared at his partner.

"It's not. Zach pursed his lips, shook his head, and then looked at Corson, "But, I don't regret this impression, whatever James thinks, but the truth is, after I read the first letter yesterday." After a night of thinking, whether to inform James of the letter so that the case could continue. ”

"The truth is that you don't!" James pursued, naturally, continuing to be glared at by his partner.

Zach waved at James, "Do you have a chance for me?" Zach shook his head helplessly, and suddenly said that he didn't need to appear in this interrogation room, "Mr. and Mrs. Bisharp came to Grande to arrange the funeral. I am accompanying Mrs. Bishop to arrange the necessary matters, and you want me to leave them alone. Shall I talk to you?"

Zach listened to the heartbeats of different people and knew that his goal had been achieved.

Well, when the meeting was held, the male director and the female secretary suddenly said that they heard a strange noise together late last night and were awakened. That's pretty much what it means, this feeling. Feel it.

James's face became even more gloomy as Corson stopped glaring at him and glanced at James with a strange look.

"And. I'm even a little sad. Zach decided to push the feeling a little further, "You snatched the letter from Benjamin, and I haven't thought through whether or not to sue you." Zach shook his head, "I don't want to say that you crossed the line and invaded Grande's privacy, our relationship is higher than such a trivial ......"

James's face grew darker.

Zach continued. "The reason I'm sad is that you didn't even give me a chance to explain. Zach's face was full of helplessness, "So before you have already convicted me, and you are about to make me even more sad and open your mouth to arrest me, I took the initiative to propose it, and it can be regarded as my decision." ”

After a moment of silence, Corson frowned and spoke, "What decision?"

"Explain to detectives who are more able to remain rational. Zach looked at Corson and nodded slightly.

James staggered to his feet, and was about to rush out of this ridiculous interrogation room and get rid of this strange conversation! But as soon as he turned around, he saw in the mirror that only he was sideways and Cousson was back, and he clenched his fists, and his jaw was torn by force, so he could only punch the air and sit back down.

Curson frowned, and glanced at James who was moving too much in a disgusted tone, "Control a little!" and then looked at Zack, "Please speak." ”

Zach smiled sincerely at Corson, "First of all, we need to recognize a basic bottom line. Zach tapped his finger on the table, "I don't want anything bad to happen in the Southeast, Detective Corson, you should understand, I'm just like the General." ”

Remember Seth's imprisonment, Curson knew full well that Grande had been helping out.

Curson frowned and nodded, this kind of thing shouldn't be said in the police interrogation room, but it was a fact, a reminder to him.

"But it has happened, and as a friend of the 'General', I'm sure you can understand the idea of hoping that it will come to light, and Grande is the same as the 'General'. ”

Cousson deserves to be an old police detective, and quickly understood what Zach meant, nodded, and shook his head again, "I can understand, I also know that you Grande have gray ......jobs" Cousson paused for a moment, and did not continue to finish, after all, he is still a policeman, and he has a minimum of respect for this place, "However, if you want to solve it yourself, this idea is still wrong! This kind of vicious case where corpses have appeared should be handed over to our police, not trying to hide it." ”

Zach nodded, and the 'tell the truth' conversation began, "I'm not hiding it, the case has already appeared, and I only found out about it even after James's notice. My real mistake was hesitation. Zach spread out his hand and used a stern expression, "Grande is in a position now, very, dangerous. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You say it's a frame-up. "Of course Corson understands that he knows better than most people about the attack on Grande, and his sources include the police, the 'General,' and the fork in the road where his partner James came in.

Zach nodded, pointing his finger at the title of the first letter, which was the altered 'Toredo'.

"The writer's goal is clear. Zach's expression was still stern, and he glanced at James, "I don't know if James has shared some of the personal things I told him about me." ”

Notice that Zach is reminding, burying something else in his words. Different objects will be understood differently.

"'Toredo' is no longer in my current life. Zach began, "I don't want to arouse sympathy, but my background, my current surname Grande, has not come easily. As illegitimate children, Benjamin and I, two brothers, didn't want to talk about our past to anyone else. ”

James frowned, he was reminded, 'Toledo'. A rift arises in his reasoning that Zach is the mastermind - is it possible that Zach became an alien case because the letter writer named the vampire's former identity, so Zach didn't want humans to be involved?

This is also Zack's education! The alien part of the Grande will deal with it, and the human society part of the content will be handled by James! Education is indeed clearly divided, but we also know that the two sides often interfere with each other, and there is no solution.

Cowson just pursed his lips, because he was self-conscious, and he couldn't ask deeply, "You mean, the other party is very clearly targeting you." ”

"Yes. Zach nodded, "The only thing I can think of for my people is to have access to people who only have access to this kind of old historical archives. ”

James's brow furrowed even tighter, the word file was ignored, he heard history, who knew Toledo's history, who was the Hidden Alliance, the Demon Feast, some alien race of Patton, and worse, the can't wait for Papa to start operating at Barton at midnight!

Corson frowned first in thought, then spread his eyebrows, his face gloomy, "Barton doesn't have many people like this. ”

"Yes, very little. Zach was glad that Curson had followed his train of thought, and of course, Zach didn't say anything about it, but became more and more strict, "But I also don't think that those few people will go through the old files of the owner of a funeral home that has not intersected." ”

Zach organized the wording, "It's personal, it's personal, it's explicit. The only thing I could think of was that I touched someone who didn't want people to know about it, and he turned it on me. ”

Corson looked at Zach, thinking, and elongated his voice, "I think, you're talking about, a particular object. ”

"I am. Zach admits directly, "That's why I was hesitant in the first place." Zach also looked at Corson, telling lies that would not leave a trace in the vampire's mind at all, "After Grande was attacked and called the police, I told the officers of the Southern Side Police, and I told everything I could. ”

Zach sighed and waved his hand, "For some special reason, I think you've heard of the non-disclosure agreement." So what can't be said, I can only apologize. For you police, it's a case of two bodies, and for Grande, maybe it's just a continuation of something, and I can't go against something. ”

This means that if Zach gives the letter to James and asks about it, Zach has to say his speculation, and the incident is linked to someone, and Zach will break the confidentiality agreement and be besieged by someone's lawyer to hold him accountable. On the contrary, if Zach does not give it and the confidentiality agreement is complete, he will not appear at the police station as the suspect he is now.

Zach shook his head and glanced at James, "I'm sorry I put Grande in this situation, even though I just want to make good arrangements for the client's funeral, trouble still finds Grande's door." ”

Zach heard, and after a brief exchange of two-way mirrors that occupied half of the wall, left.

The content of this brief exchange is like this, the man said to the woman, "Herman's matter is about to be exposed, and the above wants to maintain his image as a 'hero' of Patton, so as not to let this case come out again and blur the focus." Let those two guys lose this case and stop chasing it. ”

Zack thought about it for a moment, and this improvised decision should have been successful. (To be continued......)
